Hi Knitters,When I opened my mail today I got a sweet surprise. Sylvia at Blue Sky Alpacas sent me a little stack of the Knit Chickens pattern. I posted about the chickens, if you are interested, here. I was thinking this past month has been so much fun on the blog and ravelry and I am feeling the love!
Now I want to give some love back to you. I have 3 Knit Chicken patterns to give away! Leave me a comment to enter the contest. That means if you are an email subscriber, hop on over to my blog and leave a comment on the blog. Say hi, tell me about your chicken love, whatever you'd like, leave your name or something distinguishing on your comment.
I am going to pick a winner pretty quick so enter quick! You can be from anywhere, I'll send it to you. I will pick 3 winners with a random number generator. I will post the winners on my next blog entry, who knows when but soon.
I am going to pick a winner pretty quick so enter quick! You can be from anywhere, I'll send it to you. I will pick 3 winners with a random number generator. I will post the winners on my next blog entry, who knows when but soon. Then those lucky chickens will need to email me (on my sidebar) to give me their mailing address. If you win, you will have 2 days after I post to email me. If 2 days pass and I haven't heard from you, I will then pick another winner.
Good luck, chicken lovers! And we're off!
I made up these Sweet Pea Hats for another set of twins that needed a gift last week. It seems twins are everywhere these days. I guess it's the new trend: )
This is the third set of twins I have knitted Sweet Peas for since last fall. I have made 2 sets of sweet peas for boy/girl twins and one set of sweet peas of boy/boy twins over the last few months.
These are teeny tiny hats. I can hold both of the hats on one hand. This set of twins was born 6 weeks early so teeny tiny is just right. I hope they do well, go home soon and that the hats will bring the parents a little joy during this difficult time.

Take a look if you'd like.
Here are some patterns I am thinking about and you might like, too:
Have a good Monday, Knitters. One last note, if you click on the little arrows in the new Twitter box you can see previous entries if you are interested. Thanks to those who are following me on twitter. I am still trying to figure the whole thing out, it's pretty fun.

«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 280 of 280Hi Susie! Love, love, love the chickens. I have a few strategically placed ceramic and glass roosters in my home ~ my granddaughter would be thrilled to have a couple of chickens of her own to play with. :)
Blessings,
Trish
Thanks for hosting this contest!

I'm just "chicken in" to say love the new pattern! I know what my nephews are getting for Christmas next year!
I would love to knit up a set for my daughter's preschool class! In the spring they hatch chicks as part of their farm unit and then they head to see the animals face-to-face on a field trip. They fill their classrooms with puppets & stuffed farm animals in preparation and these chickens would be a nice new addition...gotta love 3 & 4 year olds!
Oh please enter me for the contest!
Thanks! Those are cute!
Am I too late?
These would look Fahbulous in our orange guest bedroom! Clever you, as usual.
Hey, yeah, give aways!! I enjoy your blogs and your patterns! Have made 3 heart washcloths and working on more for Valentine's Day. Bought some heart shaped soaps to go with them.
Cheep-cheep! Cheep-cheep! Chreep-chreep! That's Australian baby chickens chatting in the morning.
Love the chicken patterns since i first saw them on your blog.
I love your ideas; so wonderful.
these chickens are beyond adorable! i would love the pattern to make some chickens for my aunt who has a fond spot for the birds...I also think about them for a friend as a baby gift too!
Hello Susan,
Question...I love knitting your hats but enjoy using smaller sized needles..1's, 2's or 3's. Can you suggest something I could use to measure the hats for newborns so I know when to decrease my stitches?? I love the hat stands you use...Where do you get them?? Love your blog.Liz
LOVE THOSE CHICKENS! I have a couple of friends who keep chickens that would adore some knit ones for the house. My kids would love them for Easter too. I'm always looking for something fun to make them, all four! Thanks for all your knitting inspiration and wonderful patterns.-Amy
I'm not big on knitting animals, but those chickens are just too cute and would give it a try with the free patterns. Love you blog. I get it via email and it's the first thing I read when checking emails. Thanks for sharing yourself so generously.

I would love to win the chicken patterns! My best friend loves chickens and I sent her pictures of the chickens you made and she can't stop looking at them/talking about them. She used to own chickens and she loved them, but then unfortunately she had to give them away :(

Thank you for your generosity again - Having chickens in the kitchen has always been an inside joke with my sisters and myself - I would love to make one up for my sister's brand new kitchen. It would go great with her large cow painting!I'm thinking white with orange polka dots would be perfect.
Thanks again.
When I saw these chickens, I knew they would be the perfect gift for my Mother on her birthday. I have already gotten the yarn, now I just need a chicken pattern! Thank you for sharing your pattern!
Oh my Goodness! So adorable. I'm pretty sure my kids and I would fight over them. :)
What fun! Now for some "loverly" eggs to go with the chickens!
For those who would like the pattern and are not fortunate enough to win -- How 'bout telling us how to get the patterns?????
Danke!

I love the chickens and want to make some for some friends. The peapod hats are really cute too!
I would love these spring chicken patterns to make my snowy day brighter. Here in New England we're getting snow...AGAIN. BTW, I love your blog and designs!
Cute chickens!
Yea for giveaways! I have 2 nieces that would love to have me make them chickens!

LOVE the pattern. They will match the ceramic ones I told you about.
Pick me!
The colors on the chickens are fabulous and I love anything with BRIGHT POLKA DOTS and STRIPES!!! I am a beginning knitter and have enjoyed your Itty Bitty Nursery Book and now your Blog! Knitting has made this chilly winter so fun I don't mind that spring is a few months away! :) I'm in need of a new project and would love to make the chickens if you pick me. . . as my daughters would say "PRETTY PLEASE WITH A CHERRY ON TOP"!!!
I am a newbie on the knitting front but think these chickens would be so fun. My four year old asked just last week if maybe we could have a baby chicken live with us. Problem is we live in a city neighborhood. Guess since I said no to the dog or cat she was looking for an alternative.
How about a Knitted Chicken Annette!!!
I wanna make a chicken! I have a friend with chickens and I think it would be fun to give her a knitted one...
Andrea
I'm craving some chicken!

Working on the sweetheart hat myself - in two incarnations. One for the baby, and one for my older daughter. ;-)
Would love to win your Chicken Patterns! I have been addicted to making all of your hats just finished one sweetheart and have 2 more to go! My grandkids have so many hats now their Mom's don't know what to do! So I am sure they would love the chickens!!!!
These chickens are so cute!! Hope I win and can give it a try.
Those chickens are adorable. I'd love to win the pattern. Thanks for doing another giveaway.
I just moved to Georgia from the north. This is land of cotton, chickens, farms and such, would love to knit chickens...I would fit right in!

My granddaughter is obsessed with chickens, I would love to knit her a flock of different coloured chickens.

This one goes with a sweet little cardigan that was inspired by the snowmen buttons I bought.
you can see it on my blog

I heart this pattern and would love to make some little chickens for my little twin chicken boys!
My aunt is a huge chicken lover and she would LOVE for me to make her one of those adorable chickens! She has probably hundreds of chickens in her house, but no knitted ones.
Ohhh, chicken based giveaway! Me, please!

Love your new chicken pattern-so whimsical and fun. Would love to win a copy.

I would love to be entered in the chicken pattern giveaway, please!
I collect rooster/chickens and having this pattern would greatly enhance my collection!
Additionally, there are no local vendors in my area that would even carry these patterns.
Thanks!
Hi Susan, please include me in the giveaway...I adore chickens, hens, etc..I just posted about my hens laying again on my blog. great hats for the twins. hugs Margie.
I am late to the game but I love the chickens. They are really cute.
Growing up on a farm, and still a country girl at heart, I love chickens. These are adorable!
Yeah! Love the chickens. My Mom has a rooster and hen kitchen, so I would knit her up one for her birthday. :) Thanks for the give away.

We just purchased a dozen chickens last year. Our grandaughters love them. Emma named hers Snow White and Nora named hers Elizabeth With The Golden Chest! HA! This winter, Snow White passed away. We haven't told Emma yet, but I think she would love one of these Chickens from Gramma and she could name it Snow White! They are lovely!
I LOVE, LOVE these knit chickens. While I am the proud "mother" of 12 hens, I can not bring them inside! These knit chickens would be perfect for every room in my house!
I know this is a really old post - but I am looking for a knit chicken pattern. Is this pattern in your book - Itty-Bitty Toys?
Thanks!
I realize that this contest is over. I really want to get ahold of this pattern. It's not so much that I'm really crazy about the pattern. It's that I know how much my friend would like it. She's been a very good friend to me throughout the year and I want to do something for her. I've gone to several sites about this pattern and can't seem to find it. Can you help? Thank you.
The knit chicken pattern is available all over online and in local yarn shops. A few to try might be:
jimmybeanswool.com
loopyarns.com
purlsoho.com
yarn.com
My daughter, who resently graduated from college, loves chickens. I'd like to knit a few for her birthday. Your pattern and colors are wonderful.
